Becky, do you remember what I posted last week, about viewing Jesus's death as an act of reconciling the world with God, rather than as one of atoning for sin? Check this out.

that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. (2 Corinthians 5:19)

I don't wish to intrude, but ... could not JESUS' death have effected both results (i.e. reconciling the world to God ... and ... atoning for sin) ?

In fact, ... does not the verse you referenced indicate this ... ?

... that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. (2 Corinthians 5:19)

Sorry I missed this post, I was busy with another poster:).

Anyway, yes that is a good verse. I also read questers response to your post. What do you think of that?
